Coronavirus: FG clears air on school reopening

Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba Speaking during the daily briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Thursday, Nwajiuba stated that there was no actual date yet for school resumption.

The Minister also urged members of the public to disregard rumours making the round on social media that the Federal Government would reopen schools in the next two weeks.
